Kitchen / Family · More Info
Need to finalise our plans and I'm not sure whether to off-set the sink on the island bench. Currently it is centred, in line with the oven. I was thinking of placing it to the left hand side (when looking out to the meals room) to give me more prep space (large walk-in pantry is located near the fridge...oops, cut that out of the picture). We'll be having a dual undermount sink with stone bench top.
Would like thoughts/opinion if this will look odd and possibly unbalanced or perfectly fine...

Comments (5)Looks like you have set yourself a challenge. What are your goals with opening up the space? Are you limited with moving plumbing etc. by slab? Have you considered stove with under bench oven in central island bench with overhead range hood. Leave sink/fridge layout as is. Can you then fit narrow cupboards for dishes etc. along the wall of the meals area where aircon is. Having some measurements for window location/size would be helpful. Hopefully this will bump your post and some designers will chip in their ideas......See MoreShould I install a sink in my kitchen island?
Comments (31)Hi Bianca, I have just seen your post. I personally think the best answer to your question will depend on a few other considerations because it really depends on the kitchen layout as a whole. Considerations may include; how will this affect the work flow in your Kitchen and what are the alternative positions available to you? Importantly; how big is your island going to be; an Island can be a great space for food preparation, meal plating, as well as the island being a social space for family as well as when entertaining. When placing the Sink in an island you may consider a sink also needs adequate additional space each side of it for the various functions it is used for; whereby placing a sink in a small Island can sometimes take away from the other benefits it provides. There is actually no clear yes or no answer, but to consider your Kitchen layout, appliance placements and its work flow as a whole. With the other things you have already mentioned here, I hope this extra helps in your decision process....See MoreHelp, do I need a sink in my butler's pantry?
Comments (45)Note - This is what I think of the concept in general. It's not a criticism again the OP - I think Butler's pantries are better idea's in concept than practice. I've not understood the rationale for a kitchen thats separate to your kitchen, unless of course you are prepping all your meals in there in which case what is the kitchen for? I think it's a sign of the times that we have more space and more money than we know what to do with when we start installing two kitchens in the same space. Of course I understand the rationale for a pantry. A place to store food items that may not be used frequently and the same for appliances. In the days when food was only available in season and the only way to preserve certain foods was to pickle and bottle it then a large space to store those supplies was necessary. We live in the modern age now where any food can be gotten easily and cheaply all year round. So these spaces are housing mostly appliances that we rarely use. And if we rarely use them you have to ask yourself why you are holding onto them?...See Morekatmatfox
